Watching the farce unfold before me, I felt nothing but cold irony. Liana’s pitiful act, Kirby’s easily–stirred guilt… Asphodel let out a contemptuous snort in

my mind.

What a foolish Alpha—so easily manipulated by an Omega.

I observed in silence, right up until the moment Kirby appeared to “forgive” Liana. Perfect. If she wasn’t actually sick, then there was no need for my heart to be “donated.”

“All right, Kirby,” I said, stepping forward and cutting off their nauseating show of affection. “Since Miss Liana has made such a miraculous ‘recovery,’ I think it’s time we talk about us.”

I pulled out the already–prepared contract, a scroll radiating faint Moon’s Essence, and dropped it onto the table in front of him.

“This is the bond dissolution agreement. Once you sign it, we’re done. No debts, no ties. Don’t worry–I’m not after a single coin from Crimson Moon Pack. You don’t have to worry about me taking advantage of you.” My voice was calm, almost casual, like I was talking about the weather.

Kirby’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)

The bond dissolution scroll–written in ancient wolfkind script–lay quietly on the table, exuding a cool aura that unmistakably belonged to Leslie.

As I stared at it, the soul–deep pain I’d tried so hard to suppress surged back to the surface. Inside me, Lance let out a quiet, tormented whimper, filled with rage and a kind of… loss I couldn’t understand.

She really wanted to break the bond? Just because I’d asked her to make a “sacrifice” for the Pack’s benefactor? Just because… I’d given Liana a little more attention?

“Leslie, are you sure about this?” My voice came out hoarse, my face dark with brewing

emotion.

Yes, I’d ignored her ever since Liana appeared. Yes, I’d demanded too much of her. But I never truly intended to sever our mate bond. She was my Goddess–given mate. Even if she was just an Omega, she belonged to me–belonged to Crimson Moon Pack,

“I’ve never been more sure,” she replied, her tone unwavering. “Kirby, I’ve had enough of living like a slave in your Pack. And your mother, your so–called ‘brothers‘–haven’t they been waiting for me to leave anyway? Well, now they get their wish.”

Her words hit like ice–tipped blades, stabbing deep into my chest.

Living like a slave? That’s what her life in Crimson Moon Pack had been? My mother… my Packmates… what had they done to her?

A flicker of hesitation passed through me, but it was quickly drowned out by Alpha pride and the searing feeling of being “betrayed” by my mate.

I stayed silent for a moment, then reached for the pen and signed my name and Alpha imprint on the scroll–the symbol of our once–sacred bond.

My hand trembled slightly as I wrote. Lance whimpered inside me, wounded.

Leslie calmly picked up the agreement, checked the contents, and slipped it into a small, unassuming pouch that shimmered faintly with strange energy.

“Well, that’s that. I’ll be going now.” Her voice held no emotion, and without looking back, she turned and walked toward the door.

I’d already braced myself for the second wave of pain that came with the bond’s final severance. But watching her leave–utterly resolute, not a hint of hesitation in her step–an overwhelming sense of loss crashed over me like a tide. My chest felt hollow, like… something vital had been

torn away.

I turned my head toward Liana, still on the bed, her expression flickering between panic and guilt. The anger I’d buried roared back to life.

“Liana,” I said coldly, “you’ve truly disappointed me.”

I didn’t spare her another glance. I strode out of the room.

She’d lied to me. Used my guilt over Jake against me. This… wouldn’t be forgiven so easily.
